Have you started making your Thanksgiving plans yet? We will be spending this Thanksgiving at my sister’s house. Since both Brian and I have family living in the Minneapolis area, we take turns spending Thanksgiving with each of the families.

It’s hard because we would love to be with both families every year, but that isn’t possible, so we take turns. There are going be about 50 people at our Thanksgiving dinner this year and I can’t wait. It’s all the yummy food, the special people and the feeling of thankfulness that makes it so awesome.

Speaking of the food, although it is fabulous on Thanksgiving Day, I enjoy the leftovers just as much. Today’s recipe for Thanksgiving Pizza is the perfect thing to make with all of the Thanksgiving leftovers!

That was phenomenal! Thank you so much! I’ve never heard my husband rant and rave about such amazing food!

The food was great! My husband had two pieces and said it was solid comfort in each bite! Thanks!

How To Make A Thanksgiving Pizza

Making this Thanksgiving Pizza is super easy. Start with a thawed puff pastry sheet. I used Pepperidge Farms and thawed the sheet on a lightly floured surface for about 45 minutes.

Then, gently press the puff pastry sheet into a greased 9-inch tart pan or pie pan. Trim the corners and use them to fill in any empty spaces.

Next, add your Thanksgiving leftovers. Don’t crowd the edges with too much food so that way, the puff pastry can puff up while baking.

First, spread mashed potatoes over the bottom and drizzle with a couple tablespoons of gravy. Next, sprinkle on some corn and green bean casserole.

Top that with leftover turkey, stuffing and another drizzle of gravy. Finally, sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese before baking.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Sprinkle the top with French fried onions and baked for an additional 3-5 minutes. Garnish with a little basil, parsley or thyme and some freshly ground black pepper. Remove the sides of the tart pan before serving.

The awesome thing about this Thanksgiving Pizza is that you can use whatever leftovers you have from your holiday dinner. Got some leftover ham? Dice it up and sprinkle it on. You can add creamed corn, cooked carrots, and squash too!

Don’t have any leftover turkey? Try some rotisserie chicken. Try to keep the total amount of leftovers on the pizza to about 2 to 2-1/2 cups.

Awesome! I’m always looking for new pizza ideas,thanks. I’m going to put the stuffing as the crust,gravy as the sauce then pile on the toppings. You’re awesome, thanks again. One of my pizza’s I use ground chicken as the crust , I bake it and add bbq, onion, bacon& cheddar.

Hi Tonia! It’s just the two of us as all the kids flew the coop years ago and are scattered all over the US, but I still make a full Thanksgiving spread! We LOVE leftovers! I make a take on shepherds pie that we call “squish”. I layer in turkey, vegetables, gravy and top it with mashed potatoes in a baking dish. Of course I always make stock with the carcass (there should be a better word for that!) for soup.
